Michael was overjoyed, one second he was left wondering what he was going to do, to now having endless potential. Dual talent blessing were very rare, but not impossible to get. He opened his panel :
[Status Panel]

[Skills : Dash(LVL 1), Power blow(LVL 1)]
Suppressing his excitement, he selected his first talent to see the details :
[F-rank Body Strengthening] [+]
[Talent blessing]
[Effect :
(+1 to every attribute for every level)]
The effect didn't surprise him. It was an F-rank talent, after all. If he wasn't a rare dual talent, he would have been a canon fodder if he insisted on fighting on the frontline. Checking the 2nd blessing with anticipation, he pressed it to see the details :
[EX-rank Infinite Talent Evolution]
[Effects :
(Give Talent Points (TP) to evolve Blessing talent)
(1 TP per seconds)

You can not take any pain medication while undergoing evolution)
]
Michael analysed the information given by the panel. After some quick calculations, it would take him approximately 11 days to evolve his talent to SS and less than half a year or 116 days to get an SSS rank talent. The Nirvana talent program evaluation would begin in 30 days, so he had time to evolve it to SS. It would take him even more time if he were to try to evolve his professional talents. What's more, if he couldn't handle the pain and passed out the evolution would fail, and he might even become a crippled or die.
He still smiled despite the drawbacks. He couldn't complain. He would get even more talent blessings in the future one every 50 levels, all of them he would evolve to SSS rank. Not only that, but he had never heard of anything that could allow him to evolve his talent to SSS rank, let alone to have multiple ones at that rank. The highest talent among humans was only C as far as he knew, so what else did have to complain about. If he wanted to reduce the time of evolution, he would have to look for resources in the game. Closing the window, he had one last thing to do. He had to choose his 'Name Tag'. By tradition, you would choose your name tag based on the first blessing you got.
After consideration, he decided to call himself 'Restless'. People would just associate this nickname to his first talent. From now on, people would see his name tag on the top of his head and associate him with this name. A huge number appeared behind this name, indicating that it had already been taken by numerous before him. He closed the window for the final time.
His next plan was to go out and fight monsters to level up. He was not in a hurry to evolve his talents as the more points he had the higher he would evolve it. Plus, he didn't know if evolving his talent would have an effect on the outside. He crossed the building, ignored the NPCs he met along the way, and directly went to the gate. Crossing the gate, he founded numerous low level players fighting weak mutated monsters. His beginner weapon was a simple iron long sword, and he didn't even have a gun yet. He went to a discreet corner and fought a 'Mutated Horned Rabbit'. Even thought it was the worst monster, he still had a hard time fighting it. If he didn't excel at the 'Empire Standard Fighting Art' he would have lost. As expected of a difficult game. Even against a beginner monster, normal people would need a party.
*Ding*
*You defeated the monster 'Horned Rabbit'.*
*+12 exp*
*+ 1 bronze coin*
The monster didn't give him any experience, didn't drop anything, and was hard to fight. Evolving is really not easy, especially if your blessing talent is trash. The only good point was this message :
*You gain a new professional talent, 'Beginner Swordsmanship (LVL 1)'
Just swigging your sword a few time was sufficient to gain this talent, let alone the fact that he used the Empire Standard Swordsmanship. Beginner Swordsmanship would give him a +0.01% bonus in damage.
In the end, he had to evolve his talent. It would take too much time to level UP if he didn't. The higher his talent, the stronger the monsters he could fight the faster he would level up. Thinking like this, he decisively walked into the forest away from prying eyes. He opened his character panel, selected body strengthening and clicked on the [+] sign behind it. He directly invested 1.111 TP, bringing his talent directly to B-rank.
*Ding* *Congratulation you obtained the B-rank talent 'Lux Constitution'*
[Lux Constitution]
[+1 free attribute for every level up]
[Gain attribute points as long as you see the sun everyday (max 1 every 7 days for 1000 points in total) ]
[+10% charisma]
Immediately a wonderful change appeared on him. He felt an indescribable sensation, no pain but The charisma stats, one of the hidden stat difficult to increase, went up making his handsome face even more handsome and charismatic.
Other than that, when he looked at the Panel, the change stunned him. He didn't have to level up, he just had to see the sun once a day ? He had never seen a C-rank talent before, but he was already sure he had eclipsed most humans in terms of talent. Levelling up only got others 1 points to every attribute + an additional 5 points to distribute. He would get an additional 1 points and additional points every day by just staying under the sun. Knowing that killing monster to level up was hard, the advantage was significant. At the same level the chance of him beating any C-talent was very high.
